Review extracted values, answers, and warnings. See the source behind key figures and correct what needs attention.

Before you start

Does TakoTax fit your return?

Preparation and form downloads are free today, with no account required. Check the current limits before entering your information.

Coverage

Current output is for covered TY2025 federal forms. A document TakoTax can read does not necessarily mean every tax situation on it is supported.

State returns

The app does not calculate a state estimate, generate state forms, or file a state return today.

Saving your work

Your project is saved in this browser. Clearing its site data can erase the project; there is no project-file backup or recovery yet.

Privacy in practice

Your documents stay with you while you prepare.

During normal preparation, document parsing, tax calculations, and filled-form generation happen in your browser. Your tax documents and return data stay on your device. Standard website requests still create limited operational records.
